it will be fine, this just adds more moisture to the soil. Woods really smell like a nice fresh bag of Ocean Forest.

Well I got most of my holes dug, I still got 8 to do. I had to quit early due to a Mothers Day dinner engagement but im going to go back and get those last 8 done within the next few days. I brought home a water sample from the creek I plan on using for water to test on a few house plants to make sure it's safe. Sorry rzza but I didn't take my camera with me out there, next time... Overgrow Michigan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted mt own thread this morning but thought I'd chime in. I line in the area of Ontario which is farther south than some of Michigan, basically the same geography. I think I may be a slightly in more temperate microclimate due to the lake ontario/erie peninsula which allows for a healthy wine industry nearby, in Niagra. We definetly get the extreme weather that Michigan experiences too though, so everything has to be a little bit tough to grow here.
Planted a week ago, today. 6 Haze Specials (topped three days prior) and 2 untopped Afghani Golds. The hazes are K.C Brains genetics and the Afghani Golds (supposedly an Afghani/Skunk/ColombianGold) are from a Canadian bank, toronto420. The afghani plants are kind of a "fall back" plant because they are basically just high end high yielding biker weed to make hash with. Outdoors they should yield around 1 to over 2 pounds in a decent year, If the 6 hazes don't work out, I can always smoke the afgani weed right?
Anyways the reason things might not work out for the Hazes is I'm not really too sure how hardy they are by nature, and I'm going experimental this year. I planted in a fairly dry flood meadow which is fed by an extremely shallow and mucky/boggy creek system. Dug holes--just "behind" expired fiddlehead plants cause I know they like it spongy but not under water- about two-2.5 feet deep and filled them with mostly perlite and some possibly reliable "long term" flower basket pebble ferts (you know the kind). The ferts are a 14-14-14 balance and are supposed to last for 6 months, but I'm giving them four or three because of all the flooding and draining. Will give me time to give them a "bloom" feeding with some molasses in late Aug, don't have to worry about flushing the flood/drain cycle will do it for me.
To keep the perlite and plants from floating away I covered the mix and the plants potting spoil with some local (from the hole) clay and some limey hummus thats piled all over some nearby limestone cliffs. Thank god, its been flooding there (probably) for the last three days.
Planted them at about five int he morning so they got a full wakeup call for their first day outdoors and for stealth (ain't my clearin and it ain't my bush neither), they got three warm sunny humid days and then four days of cold wet rainy temperatures between 15 and 0 degrees. Should be warming up nicely over the next day or two though (overnight!) so I'm hoping that they want be soggy mushy crap plants this time next week when I go check up on them.
As I mentioned before I think the extra hard conditions I subjected them to (tiny pots, 4-10 degree weather, 22+ degree heat, topping at 3 wks) have hopefully hardened them up. The hazes looked amazing when they went in, their leaves are so long and thin! I've never grown something that looks like it before. And they grew like fiends, would have been an unhealthy and rootbound 2.5 feet if I hadn't topped them. The Afghan leaves are really funny, big fat zeppelin turd leafs, they barely look like weed its more like catnip. Can count on those to grow anywhere and max out the spots potential. I didn't top those because I want some big arm colas.
Tell me what you think!

Everyone loves pics.
I may take some harvest pics but right now don't have a camera or software to upload cellphone photos. Also the area is fairly unique with some fairly localized vegetation and I have already given away a lot of info.
Forgot the coolest thing about my whole op though, I know it's a dear bed with dear trails all over it, so I strung two spools of tough (30 lb test) fishing line between the surrounding trees. And I planted about a hundred germinated garlic cloves. It was like nam bro.
